The rofe of citric acid in fracture healing

Abstract

In this experimental study, the role of citric acid which was marked with Tc 99m has been evaluated by scintigraphic techniques, in fracture healing of experimental model which was formed in the rabbit tibia. Citric acid has an important effect on the mineral metabolism of bone cell. However its role is unknown. No scientific study has been found about this subject until today Fractures were formed in 32 mafe rabbits with transverse osteotomy in the Ievel of right tibio-fibular junction. Two different types of groups were formed by two different types of intramedullary nailing for the reason of forming the primary and secondary healing. The stages of fracture healing were followed scintigraphically. At the first group on the 14th day average (L/K) ratio was 26, then it increased to 4.0 on 29th day. Then, by 62nd day,a slight decrease to 30 from 62nd day, to 105th day, it decreased sharply to 7.5. Within 6 months, a clear straight Iine was seen in the second group, on the 10th day, the average (L/K) ratio that was postoperatively made a peak 15 and reaching to 26th; by an evident decrea, it reached to 3.5. Then its decrease continued and by the 43th day, it reached 2.0 but 59th, Iittle increase was seen Iike a value of 2.5. This increase came down under the vaule of 2.0 on the 97st day and showed a continuity by a straight Iine up to 6th month. In the general evaluation of the two groups, the citric acid in fracture healing was hold on the high values. According to our observations, the remodelation period Iasts Ionger than radiologic appearances at the molecular Ievel. In this Iong time period, holding of citric acid continues even if it gets Iess. These observations showed that, citric acid had an important role in fracture healing and it also showed that it could be used as an agent in scintigraphic evaluations as a specific substance to the bone.
